Business Matters: Burundi 'coup1' unsettles East Africa 14 May 15

Thu, 14 May 15

As a coup attempt is launched in Burundi to try to overthrow2 President Pierre Nkurunziza, we hear how the unrest could destabilise neighbouring countries in East Africa. Facebook joins up with nine big news providers, including the BBC, to provide Instant Articles on mobile phones. After the reported killing3 of a senior Islamic State commander in an air strike, what chances of a concerted campaign to retake the northern Iraqi city of Mosul? We speak to the governor of Mosul's Nineveh Province, Atheel al-Nujaifi. Following the fatal Amtrak derailment in Philadelphia, is the ensuing debate about the state of US infrastructure4 justified5? And can a chicken tell you how it's feeling? We speak to a researcher who thinks he might have cracked squawk talk. We're joined throughout the programme by Jyoti Malhotra, of India Today, in Delhi and Peter Morici, of the University of Maryland, who joins us from Washington.
